Well I wrote a really long description of this run so I could refer to it later in order to know what worked and what didn't, but it didnt save so I'm going to try and keep it brief and sort of outlined. 60 minutes overall
POSITIVE:
My 3 quickest miles added up to a 17:59 ( 8 seconds from last week and 16 seconds off my PR )
I ran all of the minutes for the tempo today ( about 4 more than last week )
I fought through when things seemed to fall apart
I ended about 200 meters away from Carson logan and alex ( that's 200 closer than last week)
I stuck with the top guys up until the last .65 miles where I went just a little bit slower than Carson logan and Alex
My average split was the exact same as last time.
THE NOT SO POSITIVE:
Things seemed to fall apart just a little bit earlier than last time
I was a little more panicked this time
My back kick could've used some more work while running
My breathing fell apart just a little sooner.
GOALS FOR NEXT TEMPO:
Finish right with the top guys
Keep calm and relaxed.
Encourage others to stick with us
Focus just a little more on form
Conclusion: Although there wasn't tons of improvement I still stuck with the top guys up until the last little bit and managed to improve ,altogether, just a little more in comparison to last time. This reminds me of Addi's talk she gave. The little victories count and in the end have profound affects on what we do. I think this workout was one of those kinds of victories for me. This run was fun but difficult, and I'm glad I took that ice bath last night. I'm pumped to keep working and enjoying the process.
20 minuter with the team felt good after weights
